DESCRIPTION

Housing artworks and objects from all over the world and from all eras, museums carry the memory of humanity. In the past, however, these works were displayed in various locations and settings such as nature, tombs, temples, churches, palaces, world fairs and private dwellings. To understand better what is displayed in today's museums, this course rereads History of art in relation to their original locations, then explores how their significance is being redefined in today's exhibitions.
